If you’re a Scentsy fan, swapping out scents is part of the fun! But before you can enjoy a new fragrance bar, you need to clear out the old wax from your warmer dish. Learning how to clean a Scentsy warmer doesn’t have to be messy or complicated — with a few simple tricks, wax removal can be quick, easy, and even a little fun.

The Best Way to Clean a Scentsy Warmer: Cotton Cleanup Pads

The simplest method for removing Scentsy wax is with Cotton Cleanup pads. Just drop one pad into the dish and watch it soak up the melted wax. Each pad holds up to four cubes of wax, so it’s perfect for mess-free clean-up.

💡 Pro tip: Add Cotton Cleanup to your Scentsy Club subscription so you never run out. That way, your warmer is always ready for a new fragrance bar!

Other Easy Scentsy Wax Removal Hacks

If you’re out of Cotton Cleanup pads, here are a few tried-and-true methods Scentsy fans love:

• Ribbon method: Place a ribbon in the bottom of your warmer dish with one end sticking out. Once the wax cools, simply pull the ribbon and the wax pops right out.
• Cotton ball soak: Drop a cotton ball into warm wax (about one cotton ball per cube). Once it absorbs the wax, toss it in the trash.
• Pour & wipe: Carefully pour liquid wax into the trash can (never down the drain) and wipe the dish with a paper towel.
• Cool & slide: Let the wax fully harden, then turn the warmer on just long enough to loosen the bottom. The wax will slide out in one piece.

What Not to Do When Cleaning Scentsy Wax

It may be tempting, but avoid using a knife or sharp object to scrape wax from your dish. This can cause scratches or even break your warmer dish — and damage from prying tools isn’t covered under warranty. Stick with safe, gentle methods to keep your warmer in great shape.
